On October 20, 2022, the Victor Pinchuk Foundation launched the 17th Zavtra.UA scholarship program selection.

The Foundation selects the most talented Ukrainian students and provides them with access to financing, expertise, and information.

Moreover, students also join a 2,500+ community of talented youth from all over Ukraine.
The Victor Pinchuk Foundation brings together stipend recipients at the Zavtra.UA Youth Forum in Kyiv every year. The students participate in team-building training sessions, learn how to develop social and business projects, and meet prominent Ukrainian and international politicians, scientists, and cultural icons.
In addition, grantees can interact with the global leaders, thinkers, businessmen, and representatives of civil society during the Young Leaders Forum at the Yalta European Strategy (YES) Annual Meetings and public lectures of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
"Empowering future generations to become the change makers of tomorrow has been our mission pursued by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation for 16 years. Today, when the training process is often complicated, and additional opportunities are limited, Ukrainian students are in great need of extra support. That is why we started the Zavtra.UA scholarship program to bolster talented young people who continue to study and take their first steps on the career path in Ukraine," stated Svitlana Hrytsenko, Board member and Director of the Zavtra.UA program at the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
